Hi, I have couple of queries regarding EAc1.3 Option 1- Equipment efficiency
1.We are doing a interior fit out project (LEED CI), in which the complete building (100%) will be leased to a single tenant. The landlord has installed all the high side and low side HVAC equipments for eg Chillers, FCU's etc. The chiller meets the advance building code for COP and IPLV. Can the project (CI) claim 5 points under EAc1.3: Optimize Energy Performance—HVAC equipment efficiency?
2. Also,there are certain rooms in the facility which require 24x7 cooling to cool machines for eg. server rooms, lan room, electrical room etc,.These rooms are independently cooled by a split type AC system. Is it required that the split type AC systems installed for such area which require cooling for machines, should meet the efficiencies as required in the CPG?
Thank you.

1. You need to meet all of the Core Performance requirements to earn 5 points.
2. Yes. Especially those since they run so often!
